Promaster Sikorsky
Atomic Timekeeping
Product Description
The new Special Edition Promaster x Sikorsky S-92 watch was produced in collaboration with the American aircraft manufacturer and takes its design cues from the Sikorsky S-92®, an all-weather helicopter that flies worldwide search and rescue, utility and transportation missions. It is the most advanced helicopter in the Sikorsky civil product line and, therefore, is the ideal inspiration for this high-performance Promaster professional-grade timepiece with mission-ready flair.
On the wrist, the new chronograph features a silver-tone stainless steel case and an entrancing blue dial, with its bold 46mm shape secured to the wrist via a matching blue rubber strap. Underneath a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, the watch's azure display is on view. Red, yellow, and white accents work in tandem with analog and digital components for the Sikorsky S-92® helicopter’s unique aesthetic and technical capabilities.
The advanced functions of the watch include atomic time clock synchronization for superior accuracy, time adjustment available in 43 world cities, 1/100 second chronograph measures up to 24 hours, perpetual calendar, GMT dual time (second time zone), 2 alarms, 99-minute countdown timer, digital backlight display, Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) display, and a power reserve indicator. This distinctive sports watch utilizes Citizen's Eco-Drive technology that’s sustainably powered by any light and never needs a battery. Water resistant up to 200 meters. Caliber U680.

Reviews
Rotorcraft Elements
This watch is beautiful. I have been collecting Citizen watches for almost 30 years, starting with an original Navihawk in college that still runs perfect. Retired UH-60 driver currently flying a competing product as well as PC-12. I was hesitant to get this at first, as 1) I am not an S-92 guy; and 2) I already have the watch it's based on, the blue Skyhawk A-T with the leather strap. Broke down and got it at a great price eventually. Super glad I did. It is definitely its own watch, visually distinct from the A-T. The silicon band is supremely comfortable. Writing this review to delineate the aviation-specific elements I have identified for those enthusiasts who might be curious. Also curious if anyone has found any others. 1 - Watch hands represent high-viz blades 2 - Black outer/white inner scales of the E6-B look like main landing gear wheels/tires. This is the one that really sets it apart visually for me. 3 - Second hand represents black Night Sun with a yellow beam 4 - The pair of hexagonal studs in each strap represent blade pins/castellated nuts. Castellated nut theme is also shown around the mode selector on both the Sikorsky and regular A-T. 5 - Mode select pointer is blue, a quick check of S-92 cockpit photos shows the secondary RMI needle in blue, which is true of most EFIS systems (primary CDI will be magenta or green depending on selected nav source). 6 - The three smaller dials on top, although already on the A-T, seem to have design elements from the S-92, which has three small backup ("peanut") gauges above the middle screen. The red in these dials seems inspired by the three fire switches immediately above. To really push the analogy, the crosshairs in the small dial on the right could represent an older sperry-style flight director which the S-92 appears to have instead of more modern command bars. From both a long-time Siorsky pilot and owner of many Citizens, this watch really makes me happy. Thanks for that.
Awesome timepiece!
An awesome timepiece. Great details. I am happy to have purchased this awesome piece of technology. I do recommend it.
A true aviator's chronograph!
As a long-time Sikorsky helicopter pilot, when I saw this watch I had to have it! I've owned other Citizen aviator watches before and this one is a great improvement over earlier editions. I love the fact that it connects with Ft Collins and the Atomic Clock so it's incredibly accurate. The quick changing time zone function is also useful in my job as a pilot when flying across multiple time zones. There are so many great features in this watch, I know I won't be able to use them all! But it looks so damn good! The fit and finish is outstanding! The Sikorsky logo and the rotor blade hands are fantastic! I am going to be the envy of my fellow helicopter pilots when they see this baby!
